This is good to see the HW get some action outside of the UFC, cause word is Mir and Nog are officially tieing up the HW belt for a good 6 months.

I would suggest, to just enjoy the card and let them worry about their finances.
Easy enough??  |
I will enjoy the hell out of this card, however, it's just sad that it will be the first and last one of it's kind.

Well, I like Big Ben, but there's something about me that can't cheer for him in this upcoming fight.... can't quite nail it down though....
<----
AA all day. Respect to Ben for stepping up, but Pitbulls' gonna tear your ass apart. bump this when it happens.

Gonna be good to see how Rothwell matches up with a top HW!
Rothwell brings the fight every time so even AA who sometimes is too tentative will be forced to slug it out. Good fight and the best of luck to both guys!
On a side note:
Anyone know what the gross income of Affliction is? If they bring in in the hundred million range every year a losing show could be sustainable 2-3 times a year just to carry their brand. They market specifically to MMA so getting banned from EliteXC and the UFC would make shelling out for exposure smart.

Damn I was really hoping for AA to stay with the UFC. I almost kind of feel for Nog. He entered the UFC and things were looking so bright, now all the contenders have left. It will be a great fight. I'll be pulling for Ben.
